(SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.) Roosevelt Elementary School had some unique volunteers at its recent Open House celebrating the start of its new school year.

Among those helping to serve refreshments during the Open House were the president, vice presidents and department managers from Four-D College. This was the college’s first act of service to Roosevelt School since they were linked through an adoption ceremony several months ago.

About 200 people, including students and their families, attended the open house and most of them came to meet the Four-D College representatives.

“We are excited about the spirit and enthusiasm these parents are showing for their children’s education,” said Four-D College President, CEO and Founder Linda Smith. “We will work with them, their teachers, and their new principal, Ms. Martha Servine, throughout this year.”

Events Four-D College is planning for Roosevelt School include:
  • Providing free reading and math tutoring, by Four-D College students, for Roosevelt Elementary students;
  • A CPR training course for parents and others in the community:
  • A Health Fair that will include medical and dental screenings for all ages, free massages, free toothbrush/toothpaste and floss kits for children, and information about quality health care providers in the San Bernardino area.

The Health Fair was the idea of Roosevelt School’s new principal, Martha Servine. Shortly before taking over from Michelle Tesauro on July 1 Servine learned Four-D College had adopted the school, and met with its management team.

“I found out about all the wonderful courses they have, and all the wonderful services they could offer my parents,” she said. “I asked them if they could put on a health fair and they said “Yes!”  It is going to be a wonderful community partnership.”

Smith is an alumnus of Roosevelt Elementary School. In 1992, she started her own college, Four-D Success Academy, which was renamed Four-D College in 2002.

Four-D College provides education in the growing health care field at locations in Colton and Victorville. Four-D College offers programs in vocational nursing, medical assistant, medical billing and coding, dental assistant, massage therapy and pharmacy technician.

New courses begin monthly at Four-D College and courses are available in the morning, afternoon and evening to meet the needs of working adults. For more information or a tour, call (800) 600-5422 or go to www.4DCollege.com.
